THE HOCKEY PUCK OF LIFE
« on: August 31, 2005, 12:07:24 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, you feel like scoring a goal with the hockey puck of life because of the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're playing hockey right now, and they can't be bothered now.

In just a few short postings we shall achieve our new plateau of 140,000 posts.  That is an amazing way to end August and begin September, if you ask me.

And now - Dino at the piano.

BK, when you mentioned "hockey puck" in your notes, the first thing that I thought of was Don Rickles! ;D

The Attack of the WUSSBURGERS continues.  Guess we won't achieve our new plateau until morning.

I can also tell you that if we have a strong day of posting, our new plateau will not be the only plateau we achieve.

Thanks again to dear readers who gave me the birthday wishes later last night.
What a lovely gift, DR DANISE!!!  Thank you for posting the photos of your own Michael Crawford Rose for my birthday. I’ll keep them on a rose section of my photo album. :)

Hello DR Elmore.   It's operation reorganise CDs and Books etc.  The usual result - there's always less room when things are tidy.

Good morning, all!  I'm fighting depression for the past cople of days.  I want to stay in bed and avoid/postpone everything.  Accomplishing anything for the past two days has been a chore, and today I have to play the Shakespeare Festival ticket game for TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA.  I'd rather go back to bed.

Yesterday, at the NYPL Theatre Collection, I saw Ms Bebe Neuwirth with a very handsome young man.  She was asking about watching something, CHICAGO, I think.

DRDanise, that's one lovely rose!

Good morning my friends. I must get to work since Friday is a half day. I will leave around 11:30am and we are closed Monday. No work on Saturday (hoo and ray). We will be on Long Island (Anthony is leaving today) from Friday to Monday. Next week after we return Anthony will begin physical therapy for his foot injury. In case I haven't mentioned, it's called Plantar Facitis (sp), an injury involving swelling and streching of the Plantar muscle/tendon on the bottom of the foot. It seems to have been caught early (though it could have been caught even earlier if he had gone to the doctor a week before he went) so the prognosis is good. It takes a lot of time to "heal" anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the severity of the problem. He will start having ultrasound treatments on Friday September 9th.

And with that, I'm off to work without questions.

Later.

I have a simple question to dear BK at the end of August and the beginning of September.
Have you ever composed songs not for any plays or any theaters, just songs?  If you say YES, when you feel like composing songs (just like setting about writing), do you do it at(with?) the piano? ?When you create songs, lyrics are always followed melodies? Or just some melodies pop into your mind or just lyrics across your mind, separately?

Question for BK:  What has been your favorite one-person play?

Mine is still, after all these years, The Belle of Amherst, starring Julie Harris.

Yesterday when I left work the price for regular gas price at the corner station  $2.69.  I, however , was late leavin gthe office and had to get the Vixter to her singing lesson, so although dangerously low, I didn't stop to fill up.  What a mistake to make!!  Today's price: $3.29!!!!!!!!

Now does anyone here believe that the gas coming out of the pump at 7:00 AM today isn't  the same gas that was in the holding tank yesterday evening at 6:30 PM?

GOUGERS!!!!! I hate 'em!!!

Another workday...another day closer to a four-day weekend!

This is my "Annie" weekend.  I take in the matinee on Saturday.

I agree with you, DR Dan (the Man). I think THE BELLE OF AMHURST affected me the most deeply of the one person shows I've seen.

I also admired MARK TWAIN TONIGHT and STEVIE was almost a one person show, but Mona Washbourne was memorable, too, as a cohort of Glenda Jackson's.

I also saw Robert Morse on Broadway as TRU. I admired the emotion of the performance, but I never once believed I was watching Truman Capote because he didn't do ENOUGH of an impression of the man for my satisfaction.

I thought Jackson's film performance of "Stevie" nothing short of a masterwork.

DR Ron, I enjoyed your comedy "monologue" from last night. Of course, I didn't get to read it until this morning, but it was enjoyable.

Another "hottish" day looms.  We did, indeed, cool down overnight.  At 2:30 a.m., I arose and did a nasal wash (yes! I had to share that!), and I thought it still a tad warmish.  But around 4 a.m., I pulled up my blankie and snuggled into my pillow.

I was stoned on chocolate and caffeine (iced tea).

I don't know what got into me, otherwise.

I agree completely. Amazing that she didn't get an Oscar nomination for it, but won lots of critics' awards anyway.

Of course, I always thought she was superb in everything I saw her do. Still laugh when I think about her and Sandy Dennis in NASTY HABITS.
